  • LofiLily Lilylofi! (@LofiLily) reported

    @UwUTRuby Oh people always complain, imo its just a little boring design but people who play valorant/csgo think wall hacks built into a game are OP, when overwatch launched people thought Hanzo and widow were broken af cause of the sonic arrow and widow ult lmfao

  • EpiGamer4 Thrillhouse (@EpiGamer4) reported

    @ReeseRevived @BMOFinnandJake @PlayStation What about Spyro, Crash, COD, Warcraft, StarCraft, Overwatch, WoW, Tony Hawk, Diablo, Hexen?

  • Ten_Lil_Midgets Hector Hernandez (@Ten_Lil_Midgets) reported

    @zeddikins You are just a salty fanboy that doesn't know anything about the gaming industry. Xbox owns a bigger gaming company while playstation really only got destiny now. Xbox got crash, cod, WoW, overwatch, and several other bigger games. So enjoy making yourself look like a clown 🤡

  • JesusBishez 734 ~ Take it too far ~ Wordz are just wordz ~ 313 (@JesusBishez) reported

    BEEG blizzard coming. Overwatch 2 soon, Hearthstone only gets better, and hopefully they fix Diablo 3 when Diablo 4 releases… Or are they seriously releasing mobile Diablo as 4 Idiots. How do you miss your target that bad? WoW are PC players, idiots.

  • Lone_Swifter Lone Swifter - n00b goat (@Lone_Swifter) reported

    I find it funny that #Warzone copying Jeff Kaplan's Meta from Overwatch which don't work the same way. Just gets worse and more broken that way. What ********? Lol XD

  • dannysotods Daniel Stan (@dannysotods) reported

    @GRIMMYRAX I would love a new Crash/Spyro, Overwatch coming back from the ashes, a decent Fallout etc… I just don’t see Microsoft risking more money on games everyone will play on gamepass.

  • riel_gabe Master Yoda (@riel_gabe) reported

    @DemetriLightnin @Nibellion "Heeeey" - Microsoft, casually eating up CoD, WoW, Overwatch, Diablo, Starcraft, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon and Candy Crush.

  • kooliskey Back again (@kooliskey) reported

    @Jiujitsu45 @Puertorock77_ 1 million people pre ordered the new Destiny DLC lol if y’all think that a successful service, let one SEQUAL to a service (which blizzard is having trouble with, Overwatch 2) isn’t worth 3.6B, then you’re mistaken. That money is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

  • javichan_03 Javi 💚 (@javichan_03) reported

    Microsoft: *COMPRA CALL OF DUTY, OVERWATCH, DIABLO Y CRASH BANDICOOT* Sony: Destiny jeje

  • sonofpaint eFuse Jacen (@sonofpaint) reported

    @TheEsportsProf Uhhhh, have you seen the public opinion of overwatch and cod rn? Regardless, it's a general issue in the gaming industry that it's very difficult to remove bad actors due to contracts and legal regardless of where in the industry they exist.

  • DdkSelby Selby Ddk (@DdkSelby) reported

    @mark03396779 @XboxInfinite117 So wait... Bungie had halo and destiny, yet actiblizzard has wow, overwatch, crash bandicoot, spyro, the entire cod franchise and a few more bangers, and you say its comparable? What? Don't get me wrong, I love bungie for halo, but they got nothing else.

  • Pilzbari Pilzbari | Play to End Cancer '22 | (@Pilzbari) reported

    @GhostKnight64 Overwatch is about to become a game/franchise that is looked at as having the most wasted potential because blizzard can’t fix itself

  • pixel_Fucker PixelFucker.eth (@pixel_Fucker) reported

    @Sherlholmes90 "The minds behind Blizzard's Overwatch character designs" definitely are not working on this project.

  • professor_o_pog poggers (@professor_o_pog) reported

    @BlizzardCS Blizzard support my beloved critters, I’m still having that Overwatch error about voice chat being disabled with the little (3). I’m also in communication with Xbox support so any sort of feedback I can give them would be greatly appreciated :)

  • sterophonick Atari C101688-002 (@sterophonick) reported

    @lester_summon21 Overwatch, Diablo, Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro are their big franchises

  • TheWhiteQueso Nightshift Queso (@TheWhiteQueso) reported

    Please fix #overwatch comp. If there’s a leaver, and the team with the leaver loses SR, please please please backfill that position. Make the backfill not gain or lose SR. Please something.

  • Replica004 ⚡️Maledetto Pollame🐓 (I'm back!ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ) (@Replica004) reported

    @Esgalor CSP is definitely something I must learn, sooner or later, but the problem right now is with pc. The hraphic card crashes when I stress it, even a little bit (happens a lot of overwatch, for example). I'll take it to the assistance this week, I can't go on like this.

  • fibblewib Fibblewib (@fibblewib) reported

    @Cyberbloke @TMFSunLion You're actually ludicrous if you think destiny is worth the same in bargaining as call of duty, spyro, crash, overwatch, WoW and more combined. Even then, destiny 2 is already out. Sure, they could make d3 exclusive but I see destiny 2 having a lot of life cycle left

  • VGSquidly ⭐️ Ace Mangaka Squid ⭐️ (@VGSquidly) reported

    my biggest problem with Overwatch honestly is that these ************* keep giving the super popular characters new costumes years after they've had multiple amazing costumes. Like bro, i understand you want money but if you're invested in the lesser characters, I guess **** them

  • GhostKnight64 Ghost_Knight64 (@GhostKnight64) reported

    @Pilzbari It's really sad because if Blizzard could ever fix themselves I'd love to go back. No shooter has ever replicated the same feeling as Overwatch. But as it stands? Overwatch 2 is feeling dead in the water

  • Hellianthese Alfred🌻 (@Hellianthese) reported

    overwatch is very broken right now

  • Jackeeeeoh Cyn (@Jackeeeeoh) reported

    I need more #Overwatch friends that don’t sleep…if I could get my mf #GTA to work I wouldn’t have these problems.

  • hlangforddd • H a n n a h • (@hlangforddd) reported

    @PlayOverwatch my overwatch has been lagging yesterday causing my game to crash and when i reboot it up i get the penalty for leaving heaps of matches although i never actually left those games. please do something about it 🙏

  • BluesAdamTV BluesAdam (@BluesAdamTV) reported

    I realized how much the shakiness problem was affecting my mentality. Since I stopped worrying about it, I have been actually enjoying games. Played overwatch today and it was pure fun. No anxiety, no shakiness, no negative thoughts. Just, pure, fun! Lesgooo!

  • SlushiiPls Slush (@SlushiiPls) reported

    My Conclusion: Overwatch players are not real, their all a simulation made by NASA but NASA run out of CPUS so they cant function, pls NASA fix!!!

  • JongKimRyeol Jong-Kim Ryeol (@JongKimRyeol) reported

    @The_Jamazing @SeoulessOW They cannot change back to overwatch 1 because all teams have made player decisions with overwatch 2 in mind. If they switch back to overwatch 1, some teams need to sign new player but will not have budget or maybe visa issue…

  • TheDuperghoul Douglas (@TheDuperghoul) reported

    @Deathstranger @Jhonny10926741 @XboxGamePass I want to say E3 time. Even if E3 is cancelled, Microsoft will still want to hold their own event. Don't add the big Activision titles, like CoD, Overwatch and Diablo yet. But Crash and Spyro will hold people over.

  • ShayON_FGC Shay Farsi (@ShayON_FGC) reported

    @shinobi602 Yeah , unfortunately the help and knowledge that Bungie is going to offer numerous PlayStation Studios Live service games is not really tangible. Like most people don't know what a big role Treyarch had in fleshing out Overwatch's mechanics

  • residentzk7 res (@residentzk7) reported

    cant wait for the day i can run overwatch without lagging every 2 seconds

  • darkshadownite Darkshadownight (@darkshadownite) reported
